The disadvantages
of the common septal button not being able to remain stable
within the septal perforation was the motivation for Dr. Wood
to re-engineer the nasal septal button*. SilMed's re-engineered
septal button, features two circular flanges connected by
a central post. The central post is elliptical in shape. This
elliptical shape provides restricted movement and thus less
irritation, bleeding and crusting. The button is indicated
for non surgical closure of the septal perforation. The button
is constructed using medical grade silicone and can be trimmed
at the time of placement to provide the best possible fit
to the nasal perforation. Years of clinical experience have
shown that the use of the SilMed's septal button has decreased
symptoms of nasal perforations including epistaxis and crusting
while improving nasal respiration and overall patient comfort.

ADVANTAGES
of SilMed Septal Button:
With
the improved septal button design*, the elliptical central
post can be used as is or sized to the perforation.
Thus potentially minimizing slippage, bleeding, and
crusting.

DISADVANTAGES
of the
Commonly Used Septal Button:
With
the commonly used septal button patients may still experience
exposure of the perforation due to slippage which leads
to continued bleeding, infection, and crusting. Due
to suboptimal fit the button may be dislodged early.
